Stina Aldén
Stina Aldén is a Swedish artist based in Glasgow working primarily with analogue Photography. Through the act of performance, Stina raises themes of otherness, climate, gender, body-image, heritage and traditions in order to highlight their upbringing within a hyper-masculine, and labour intensive environment.
Their practice focuses mostly on the photographic analogue process, but is no stranger to sculpture and text. Metal is a reoccurring material in their sculptural framing, echoing the impact of such masculine backgrounds still making their mark.

Flod – Stina Aldén
Flod is a result of Aldén’s frustration with themselves, politics, their background, gender, masculinity and otherness. This work stems in part from their on going project The Vegan Butcher. The recurring material such as steel, silver gelatin handprints and blood are all impacts from their masculine upbringing and its interference with the artist’s current life. Flod is a gushing body of water trying to make sense of itself.
